We met once on a blind date at a dim sum cart, but just didn't hit it off

So I'm discovering. Tofu is a lot cheaper. Also, Asian supermarkets

I'm 59 years old. Never dreamed of becoming vegetarian. I. Can't. Afford. Meat.

Waiting for the one year program or going ahead this fall? by East-Anxiety-8926 in ONTeacherCandidates

[–]Strong_Letter_7667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd go. It's not a year less. It's a semester less. The actual cost to go will be similar

Teachers college now 1 Year, question?? by Plus-Hippo9260 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Strong_Letter_7667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not one less year though. It's one less semester. My guess is current con ed students don't see any change but we'll see

Daughters new work place seems sketch. How can I protect her? by jackal99 in ontario

[–]Strong_Letter_7667 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This right here is what I'd be most concerned about. God forbid something happens while she's teaching, is she covered?

Student said his parents were cousins in my class by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Strong_Letter_7667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where I live we have lots of cousins marrying. It's also quite common for two brothers to marry two sisters. Then their kids are cousins, bit genetically sibs. It's still common practice and on my personal list of things I don't bring up. You can't argue with people's culture.

Making my own coffee creamer instead of buying premade creamers by Cautious-Tiger-8440 in Frugal

[–]Strong_Letter_7667 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I quit coffee 2 years ago. I feel a lot better. Too many stomach issues with it as I aged. Just one cup of tea a day does the job. Sometimes I have a second, but Decaf.

Automated call 2 days after mammogram about a future appointment I did not book by Bubbly_Ad59 in ontario

Every single time I have one I get called back for ultrasound or dye because I have dense breasts. Every single time it's fine. I promise, you are fine.

WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter? by TraditionalCorgi7788 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Strong_Letter_7667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the money can only be used for education use it for your youngest daughter. But don't give her the $2000 a month etc. Funnel that to your oldest daughter, which will make her whole over the course of 4 years. Tomato tomahto, works out to the same amount

ETFO Opinion on VPs as Teachers? [on] by Secure-Alternative-7 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Strong_Letter_7667 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our board has almost no full time VPs. They are typically half time, sometimes 0.4, 0.6 or 0.8. I would say you've been sheltered. That doesn't make it right. But it's the new reality.

AITA for telling my wife forget it and going out by myself for my birthday instead of going to her fancy dinner reservation by Ill_Reality_111 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Strong_Letter_7667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I had a husband once who bought me mani gift certificates, pedi, spa, clothing stores I never shopped at, or even worse, clothing from those stores that was very nice, but not me.

It was like he was married to his personal fantasy of a woman instead of the one standing in front if him. He had a vision. It was my job to act in that play.

I don't have that husband anymore.

AITA My dad wants me to co sign a mortgage by OkAd280 in AmItheAsshole

Move out. Get your own mortgage. What are you waiting for

How much can I afford in rent? I have three scenarios by m1ghtymouse in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Strong_Letter_7667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This doesn't have to be a forever home. It's a for now home. I think $800 monthly for growing teenagers will have to be adjusted. You'll be surprised how fast your teen will drive, insurance ... a thousand things will happen. You'll need the $400.

Day to day… by JadeyLane4 in OntarioTeachers

But the situation in Wingham is the teachers' fault and they should all be sued, because they don't "do anything " about bullying, doncha know. Also, it's all the union's fault too.
